About this ebook
Twins Hue and Hoa are excited for the May Day parade! While waiting at the park for the parade to begin, they spot a little duck who seems new to the neighborhood—and looks confused by the crowd and commotion. How can the twins help the duck get to the pond? Many friends from the neighborhood stop to say hello and offer suggestions. Teamwork, collective brainstorming, and the duck’s own inspiration finally help it reach its new home—with an entire community welcoming it with a parade!
A celebration of a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood that warmly welcomes newcomers from near and far, this story also encourages communal problem-solving and offers a gentle reminder of the deportation fears many children and families face.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a wonderful read. A new type of duck, a mandarin duck is all alone away from the pond. Some kids are trying to help him find water and welcoming it to the community along the way. My favorite thing about this book is that the kids welcome the duck in a variety of languages. The words are not explained, or the cultures given (until the glossary at the end) but you know they are saying Hi and welcome. It was a lovely story with lovely illustrations and it expresses different cultures without trying too hard.
